Vomatron
Posted By: Ash, 02-13-2009, 05:44 PM

G'day all,

Just a snap at Surfer's Paradise's feature ride, the Vomatron, closely beside the Sling Shot ride at picture left. These were tight quarters to shoot from, so out came the 10-17 to get all of the ride in the frame, interestingly with no FE distortion of the ride's circular path.

Made it to Pentax Photo Gallery:

Enjoy.

Fantastic shot. The bend on the left from the lit towers really accentuates the already dynamic quality of both the colours and the sense of motion. But I will say, IMHO, this is one of the few images I have seen that fisheye lenses are useful and pleasing to the eye- that is a creative application.
